Whats the next step??? (helping a drug addict)?!


Question: Whats the next step.?.?.? (helping a drug addict).?
I told my boyfriend that i would leave if he did not stop with his 'partying ways', and yes i mean serious with the drugs and alcohol... he said he doesnt want to lose me and is willing to change for me, but he needs outside help.
i have told him that i will not put up with it any longer but i am willing to help him get himself together. if he shows he doesnt really care and doesnt really want to change, im gone.

anyway, i wanna know where we should start looking for help.?
we live in South Australia, should we start by just going to see a GP or where do we look for groups that get together and talk about it... i dont know, i would just like some suggestions on where to start.

thanx in advance!

Answers:
Go to an ordinary doctor and get them to refer him to somebody.
OR...
Go on the internet and find some sort of drug/alcohol helpline (phone line) for Australia that will tell you about places you can go in your area.Health Question & Answer

Help him find something fun and entertaining to do that will replace use of drugs and alcohol. If he goes to a party, go with him, make sure if he has a drink- that it's only minumal. Good luck!Health Question & Answer
